Leave it out for a few days, and you can shingle your roof with it

There's something strangely compelling in someone who isn't quite paying attention to what they're saying. When people are confused, or flustered, or just really stupid, some bizarre questions and statements will emerge. Like this:

"Thank you for calling Pizza Place, how can I help you?"
"Do you guys have cheesesticks? Or cheesebread?"
"We have cheesebread."
"Is it -- hmm. Is it like the, the thin one? That you can eat?"

No, we don't have that cheesebread you can eat. Roof-shingling cheesebread, sure. But edible cheesebread? 'Fraid not.
